Dish Somethin:Else Creative Studio

We launch season two with a national treasure…

Everyone’s favourite TV presenter joins Nick and Angela for a meal at DISH HQ.



It’s been ten years since his first appearance on the X Factor and Rylan Clark still has the nation in stitches. He has fronted TV shows like Supermarket Sweep, Ready Steady Cook and currently presents Strictly: It Takes Two with Janette Manrara and Saturday afternoons on BBC Radio 2.



Rylan shares his delight at the return of Big Brother, his obsession with Eurovision and his passion for chicken nuggets. Having just released his second book Ten: The Decade that Changed My Future, Rylan talks candidly about the good times and the not so good times. To satisfy his (mostly) beige palate, Angela cooks Rylan a delicious burger with fries and a tasty slaw.

Nick and Angela welcome culinary greatness to DISH HQ.



It’s fair to say that this chef, restaurateur and author has transformed the way the world prepares and shares food. Yotam Ottolenghi creates a feast for the eyes (that INSTA grid) and a feast for our tables too. His cuisine is a masterclass in colour and combinations and he champions the humble vegetable like no other. Today he is joined by the esteemed recipe creator and head of his Test Kitchen, Noor Murad.



The pair discuss their new book Ottolenghi Test Kitchen: Extra Good Things, which is full of ‘flexible, flavour-packed dishes that all lend a little something 'extra' to your next meal’. They share their memories of food growing up and give British desserts a very interesting review.



Keen to impress her peers, Angela carefully crafted a rocket and cannellini bean bruschetta followed by a creamy pasta with lemon and chard and washed down with a Blueprint white burgundy.

Nick and Angela welcome another MBE to Dish HQ.



The incredible actor and author David Harewood brings some Hollywood to proceedings this week. Star of stage and screen, he has appeared in major TV shows like The Night Manager with Olivia Colman and Tom Hiddleston, Super Girl and the multi-award winning Homeland with Claire Danes and Damian Lewis. It is on stage, David says that he feels most at home, treading the boards in Othello and King Lear among others.



David’s outstanding memoir Maybe I Don’t Belong Here is out now in paperback. The book tracks his harrowing experience of psychosis in his early twenties and how he has made a full recovery and the lessons it taught him. 



Angela is a huge fan of David’s work and was delighted to cook his favourite dish, a steak sandwich with fries, washed down with an Elephant in the Room Pinot Noir.

Nick and Angela are joined by stand-up comedian Russell Howard.



Russell is one of the world’s most successful comics. His TV show, The Russell Howard Hour, was once voted BBC 3’s best ever show, and you can catch it now on Sky Max Thursdays at 10.30pm. Tickets are now available for Russell Howard Live, his latest UK tour, which kicks off in March 2023.



As he is dairy and gluten free, Angela cooks Russell a tasty cocido (Spanish stew) with chorizo, white bean & pumpkin. Russell fits right in at DISH HQ as he shares a great food hack, compares missing dog stories with Angela and discovers he and Nick are completely aligned when it comes to their vitamin intake.

Nick and Angela welcome award-winning author, journalist, columnist, podcaster, screenwriter and foodie Dolly Alderton!



Her first book Everything I Know About Love became a top five Sunday Times bestseller in its first week of publication and won a National Book Award in 2018.  She is the former co-host and co-creator of the podcast The High Low. Dolly’s first novel Ghosts was published in 2020 and this year, Everything I Know About Love was adapted into a BBC One TV Series. Currently, she has her dream job, Agony Aunt at The Sunday Times Style, and a collection of her columns have been released as a book Dear Dolly, which is out now.



In September Dolly wrote on instagram ‘I don’t want to interact with you at all unless you are a bowl of soup or maybe a stew’... Angela took the hint and prepared a Tuscan-inspired fish stew with a side of crusty bread. Nick was on hand with a classic Champagne cocktail and the three discussed everything they know about love, life, friendship and, of course, cooking.

Nick and Angela welcome good friend and chicest man alive, Stanley Tucci.



Stanley is an award-winning actor and filmmaker. Nominated for an Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA for The Lovely Bones (2009). The list of his outstanding performances is endless, The Hunger Games, Burlesque, The Devil Wears Prada and Julie & Julia, alongside the inimitable Meryl Streep.



Stanley’s success is not limited to the big screen either as he has won an Emmy for his TV show Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy and recently starred in Inside Man on the BBC with David Tennant. His next role is as Clive Davis in the up-coming Whitney Houston biopic, I Wanna Dance with Somebody which is out at Christmas.



In this episode, Nick nervously serves Stanley a negroni and Angela prepares one of his favourite meals, spaghetti alle vongole, with clams, chilli, garlic, parsley and crispy pangritata (toasted breadcrumbs). Stanley is a man of taste, he talks Italian cooking with Angela, the importance of a leather shoe with Nick and casually drops names like Ryan Reynolds, Cher and Judi Dench into conversation. 



Stanley Tucci is the epitome of a dream dinner party guest.
